Insights
Akamai expands its government zero trust security business to UK defense sector through strategic partnership with P3M Works.
This partnership represents Akamai's strategic expansion of its government cybersecurity business into the UK market. By partnering with P3M Works, Akamai gains access to established relationships within UK government and National Security sectors while leveraging its proven zero trust security capabilities already deployed across U.S. Department of Defense networks.
The collaboration focuses specifically on zero trust identity, credential, and access management (ICAM) solutions for UK government and defense supply chains - a critical security concern following numerous high-profile supply chain attacks in recent years. The timing aligns with increased government focus on securing third-party access to sensitive systems and data.
Technically, the offering centers on Akamai's Zero Trust Federated ICAM solutions, which the release notes have been implemented by the U.S. Army. These solutions enable secure collaboration with vendors, contractors, and allies without compromising network security. Key technical capabilities highlighted include federated identity management, dynamic attribute-based access control, continuous authentication, and support for hardware security tokens - all essential components in modern zero trust architectures for defense environments.
The joint solution will become available in Q3 2025, indicating this is a forward-looking partnership rather than one with immediate revenue impact. Akamai's presence as Lead Sponsor at CYBERUK (the UK government's flagship cybersecurity event) suggests they're actively positioning for visibility with UK government decision-makers.
This partnership represents a logical geographic expansion of Akamai's government security business, leveraging their established DoD credentials to enter the UK market with a local partner who understands the regulatory and procurement landscape. The focus on supply chain security addresses a specific and growing concern for defense agencies worldwide.
